ABSTRACT:
A bathing fixture is disclosed which includes a seat assembly having a horizontal support portion and an upright backrest portion joined thereto. The seat assembly further includes a downturned lip that overlies the front wall of the bathtub and a stabilizing bar that extends into and is supported by a receptacle in the back wall of the bathtub. Two elongate plungers are mounted to the bottom surface of the horizontal support portion and a pad is mounted on one end of both plungers. The elongate plungers permit selective movement of the pad so as to laterally engage the inner surface of the front wall of the bathtub and to firmly secure the seat assembly to the bathtub.
